Sports Massage
Sports massage is a specialised therapy aimed at treating and preventing injuries, enhancing performance, and aiding recovery for all physically active individuals, from gym-goers to weekend athletes.
There is a targeted approach focusing on specific muscles including: a deeper pressure to release tension and improve mobility; functional techniques to enhance movement and reduce pain.
The key goals of sports massage include preventing injuries by keeping muscles pliable. Improve recovery by flushing out waste and repairing tissue. Enhance performance through better flexibility and circulation, and to aid rehabilitation by breaking down scar tissue.
Sports Massage can be used as a:
-
Pre-event for warming up.
-
Post-event for cooldown and recovery.
-
During training for maintenance.
-
In rehab to support healing.
Injury Diagnosis and Rehabilitation
Injury diagnosis includes:
1. Initial Assessment: Gather patient history, record injury details, symptoms, and observe for swelling, bruising, or deformities. Palpation checks pain and swelling.
2. Functional Testing: Evaluate range of motion, strength, and conduct special movements. A neurological exam may check for numbness or weakness if needed.
Rehabilitation is personalised and gradual to ensure a safe return to sports or individual goals.
Complementary Therapy
Complementary therapy refers to a group of diverse treatments and practices that are used alongside conventional treatments to support healing, manage symptoms, and enhance overall well-being. Not as a replacement for medical care, but to complement it.
Examples of Complementary Therapies:
Dry Needling - Fine needles inserted into specific points to restore energy flow.
Yoga & Pilates - Movement-based practices combining breath, strength, and mindfulness.
Cupping Therapy - Special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and overall well-being.
People use complementary therapy to:
-
To manage chronic conditions like arthritis, anxiety, migraines, or fibromyalgia.
-
To feel more in control of their health and healing.
-
To improve mental clarity, energy, and emotional resilience.
Complementary Therapy works with conventional treatments (e.g., using massage while recovering from an injury)
